Some weeks ago I finally compile and link FlightGear 0.7.8 with MSVC++6,
then I wrote these instructions to help the new developers.

_________________________________________
1. Download the lastest version of Plib, Simgear and FlightGear (including
the base);
2. Unzip all files;
Hint: unzip to the root and don't rename the directories.
3. Compile Plib and copy the directory to Simgear directory with the name
plib;
4. Get the simgear_config.h.vc5 on CVS, rename to simgear_config.h and put
into Simgear root;
5. Compile Simgear and copy simgear.lib in Debug (or Release) directory to
Simgear root;
6. Find the workspace of metakit, open and compile it. Rename the
mk4vc60_d.lib in SimGear-0.0.16\simgear\metakit\builds directory to
mk4vc60s_d.lib; Copy mk4vc60_d.dll to the same diretory of FlightGear
workspace;
7. Include the directories of include and libs to the FlightGear project
- Include: FlightGear-0.7.8\src\Include; SimGear-0.0.16\simgear;
SimGear-0.0.16\simgear\metakit\include;
- Lib: SimGear-0.0.16; SimGear-0.0.16\plib;
8. Add sl.lib to the project and remove the js.lib and the " at the end of
list of libraries to add to link.
9. Change all calls to snprintf (FGTrim.cpp) to sprintf, removing the second
parameter;
10. Put 'std::' before the calls to cout and endl in apt_signs.cpp;
11. Compile and link FlightGear.
Comments:
i. You can have some problems with the members of FGILS (ils.hxx), FGFix
(fix.hxx, FGNav (nav.hxx)) and SGBucket (newbucket.hxx) classes becouse
you're trying to access private variable. For a while just turn these vars
public.
ii. Change the line "bool getAttribute (Attribute attr) const { return
(_attr & attr); }" to "bool getAttribute (Attribute attr) const { return
((_attr & attr) != 0); }" in props.hxx to solve some warnings.
iii. You need the Glut to build FG, but don't worry, in the its site you can
get the binaries.
